I'm currently not reading anything. Everytime I go to start one of my books I remember how it ends

Just about finished reading Destiny by Elizabeth Haydon, the third book of the Rhapsody trilogy.
It's a good story, I'll give her that, but the main character, Rhapsody, is a textbook Mary Sue. Strangely it's not something I'd noticed before, but this time round it was unmistakable. It's a shame really, because apart from that, it's a damn good trilogy. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

It's funny how you notice things you missed the first time around.
It can be due to familiarity with the plot that frees us to pay attention to nuances that underlie the main story. Or it can be due to the reader bringing new experiences and lessons learned to the same story that causes the reader to see it from a different perspective. -------------------- |

I started reading The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote. Only on the first volume so far. He was always one of my favorites from the old History Channel show Civil War Journal. He had such a great combination of southern charm with a down-to-earth personality. It is fun just listening to him talk. Reading him is no less enjoyable. He has a real talent for painting a vivid picture with his prose. For example, here he describes Abe Lincoln:
The seamed, leathery face was becoming familiar: the mole on the right cheek, the high narrow forehead with the unruly, coarse black shock of hair above it, barely grizzled: the pale gray eyes set deep in bruised sockets, the broad mouth somewhat quizzical with a protruding lower lip, the pointed chin behind its recent growth of scraggly beard, the wry neck— a clown face ; a sad face, some observed on closer inspection, perhaps the saddest they had ever seen.

Great Expectations. I have to read it as it's one of the course texts, and this book is destroying my will to live. I hate it so very much.

Reading Andrzej Sapkowski's The Last Wish
Makes me want to play the Witcher games, though I don't think the first will run on my laptop*Grumbles inarticulately about integrated graphics* so I'm probably going to end up buying the second one. Again. *Sighs* And no, I don't have a clue how you pronounce his first name... -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

I started reading The Walking Dead comics. It's completely different from the tv series. It's a whole lot darker, though this isn't necessarily an improvement. In fact, it gets kinda cliche with one thing in particular :/

Recently read a couple of ebook trilogies I grabbed off Amazon. The Dragonblood Collection, Books 1-3 was damn good, sort of a fantasy/steampunk thing. Great characters, good setup, pretty much good all 'round. Would have preferred to be a little longer, but they were ridiculously cheap(less than a quid for more than 700 pages!) so I can't really complain too much on that front.
The other ones really weren't much good, so I won't bother listing them. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

The Innocent Mage, by Karen Miller.
It and The Awakened Mage, the sequel, are damn good books. The two that followed them, and the one that comes before them all, were bloody terrible. Particularly the prequel. Virtually no continuity whatsoever. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places
